Music, Data, Viz (and very little sleep)

3 cheers for everyone who competed in the EMI Music Data Hackathon this weekend. We well exceeded the number of teams and entries from the last hackathon (1339 submissions in 24 hours!). Official results will be announced by EMI and Data Science London in an upcoming event at EMI headquarters but you can see the unofficial chart toppers on the private leaderboard.

Voting for the Visualization Prospect (Adatis prize) is STILL OPEN. Check out all the cool viz works the contestants produced and up-vote your favorites. Winners will be selected by a joint judging panel from the most popular submissions.

Finally, for those who didn't stay up at all hours watching the many lead changes, here is the competition 'leap-frog' chart. Read more on the Code/approach sharing forum for what models the contestants built.

If you enjoyed the playing with this portion of the Million Interview Dataset, check out http://musicdatascience.com/ for upcoming events based on more of this data. You can also swing by Data Science Global. DSG worked closely with Data Science London to support the competition and looks forward in being involved in future events.
